How can I contruct a "READ ONLY" query

message from =?Utf-8?B?V0MgTG8=?= on 3 Jun 2004
I have a form with a query. Usually when the form is close or change of record, the query will update the database. is it possible to build a read-only query? thanks

In query design view, change the Recordset Type property of the query to
Snapshot.

Thanks guys. Does it mean what ever I type in the form will not update the recordset and the recordset will not update the table?

No, you cannot have a "read-only" query, but you can have a "read-only"

Actually you can in several ways. Setting the RecordSet type to Snapshot
is the easiest way, but there are several others.
